2019 review and 2020 resolution

[stariceling]

Last year I:

• Found a job I really like for the first time
• (More accurately: found a crap job, found a better job suddenly wanted me, got promoted from production to the lab)
• Got my first car that is actually mine and not an over 20 years old sort of hand-me-down
• Started on my first tattoo
• Found meds that effectively treat the chemical part of my bipolar so I have a stable foundation to build from
• Got a lot better about eating protein, which has helped me get better at eating normal meals at reasonable times
• Posted 1 fic

I feel like in 2019 I made it to a sort of starting line. It's kind of a knee-jerk reaction to be mad at myself for taking so long to get even this far, but I did make it. I’m currently doing really well at keeping up with my job, being cheerful and energetic for my coworkers, etc. But then I get home and I have very little energy left. I am still trying to find a balance, build up some stamina, and I’m pretty sure this seasonal no-experiencing-daylight-hours thing isn’t helping.

I’m working on it. Life is happening, and I’m working on it, and it’s as good a time as any to try to spare more energy for writing. I don't normally do resolutions, but I'll make one this year: I want to post at least one thing a month this year. (I might make an exception for November if NaNoWriMo.) I just want to write it down to make myself accountable, I guess.

Posted the first fic for this resolution earlier today:

The More Things Change
Fandom: Yowamushi Pedal
Characters: Miki and Miyahara
Summary: Miki meets someone she knew a lifetime ago. She definitely isn't going to pass on the chance to talk to someone who's had the same experience.
Miyahara turns out to have a completely different take on reincarnation than she does.
